1. The enemies have attained their goal by effort
Yet in spite of them, O Abu al-Fadl, her favor
١. نالَتِ الأَعداءُ بِالسَعيِ مُناها
فَبِرُغمي يا أَبا الفَضلِ رِضاها
2. The effort of the rival between us
Was a need in Jacob's soul fulfilled
٢. كانَ سَعيُ الضِدَّ فيما بَينَنا
حاجَةً في نَفسِ يَعقوبٍ قَضاها
